Hi everyone, I'm Kiara and this is my first build thread. I've only ever built one costume out of foam and that was for my little sister for Halloween last year (batman).
Anyway... I really wanted to start practising and getting back into the foam building world so I started making JFcustoms foam wolvie cowl, then this got me thinking... I can go as Wolverine to Supanova 2017 Melbourne (April 29th)
Ok, so first off I needed to figure out what is needed to complete the costume basing it off the all new, wolverine comic, looking something like this:
- Cowl (foam, hand painted with acrylics) - Cowl v1 painted and complete (see pg 5)
- Suit just like the one from the new wolverine comics (bought this pattern from GunHead design http://www.gunheaddesign.com/all-new-all-different-x-23-pattern.html and have just put in an order with Zentai Zone to get it printed and sewn together - should arrive in about 2 weeks) - Suit arrived and is ready (see pics on pg 1)
- X-23 Claws (have been looking at dark matter props replica claws, thinking I will buy these, was originally planning to cast my own out of self skinning foam to be more con friendly but I know I probably won't get around to it) - complete, see last page
- X belt (3d print belt buckle and attach to foam or material, need to look at more ref pics and decide and also need to wait for suit to come in) - Completed belt buckle and belt material (see pg 5)
- Boots (ok these I'm not sure about, there are wolvie boots online but these are the Logan style boots, so I may buy some black costume boots and make some foam covers or something? Any suggestions appreciated...) - Complete, see last page
Another issue I will come across is matching the paint of my foam cowl to my suit, any ideas on how to do this or do I just eye ball it best I can?
Really excited to finally complete a costume for me!
Whole suit complete, see last page for the pics at the convention!
